Ask your guidance counselor to be sure your school is approved to participate.
2. Have a high school academic unweighted GPA of 3.0 or higher (as calculated by the Office of Admissions).

4. Be a high school junior or senior or at least 16 years of age by the time of enrollment. Students wishing to participate in dual enrollment prior to their junior year or age 16 may appeal; however, this does not mean they will get Dual Enrollment Scholarship Funding.

5. Complete the GAfutures Dual Enrollment Scholarship Application with your parent/guardian and high school counselor. This form must be completed and submitted prior to being advised by your Dual Enrollment advisor.
